Redwood City Daily Photo Spring 2015 #9
Day #9: Inexplicable (unless you know the history) hummingbird paintings on an Afghan restaurant, Broadway.
As any bird lover knows, hummingbirds are a new world family, only occuring in the Americas. So why would someone paint them on an Afghan restaurant? The answer is that someone didn't. It was previously a Latin-American restaurant called Sabor Colibri (In English: "Hummingbird Flavor", although I never saw hummingbirds on the menu). I guess the owners of the Afghan restaurant, RocknWraps & Kabobs liked the hummingbirds and decided not to paint over them and for that I am grateful.
Before it became Sabor Colibri, the location was home to Ladda's Thai Cuisine, about which I blogged in my original 2010 Redwood City Daily Photo series.
